Rare Opportunity! This two dwelling property offers a 4 bedroom, 2,520 sq ft house, plus a 2 car garage with a 2 bedroom apartment above. The 2.9 acre lot is nicely set back from the road for wooded privacy. Whether you want lots of living space or a home suitable for a smaller family, the flexible layout can accommodate your needs. The house was built in 1988 and has 3 floors. A covered porch leads into the 1st floor where you will find a tiled foyer, a bedroom, office, laundry room, utility room and a +500 sq ft unfinished room awaiting your retooling-home theater, gym, workshop, playroom--your call. Heading up to the 2nd or main level, we find a spacious eat-in kitchen, living room, sunroom, bedroom #2 & a full bathroom. The pitched ceilings of the living & sunroom with skylights & hewn beams are a highlight of this home, as is the handsome granite chimney for the wood stove. A sizable deck off the sunroom takes in the open lawn, plenty of space for gardens, all surrounded by forest. On the 3rd floor is a generous 21'x14' primary bedroom along with a full bathroom and bedroom #4. This home is ready to move into and live comfortably while leisurely updating if desired. The separate garage/apartment was built in 1991 and offers a 32'x28' two vehicle garage. The 897 sq ft apartment above has 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom with laundry, kitchen, dining area & living room with a brick hearth wood stove. Enjoy 'no strings attached' living without HOA or deeded restrictions. Sorrento's charming village center is just a few minutes away. A slower pace of life comes easily here with amenities typical to the historic 'Summer Colony' communities on Maine's coast. Golf, tennis, library, yacht club and even Sorrento's most unique feature: its salt water 'swimming pool beach'. A 20-minute drive takes you to downtown Ellsworth or to the timeless beauty of the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park. To see it all, view the guided video tour and self guided
